Zanzibar. For me just saying “Zanzibar” conjures a
foreign, very exotic, and faraway place.
A bustling place of new sights, sounds and aromas.
A place of ancient looking shuttered apartments
…overlooking narrow, winding alleyways.
A place where the architecture is a blend of ancient Persia and India.
A place whose people have different customs and beliefs than my own.
A place with markets of strange…and aromatic foods.
A place where dhows ply the nearby waters as they have for centuries.
A place where you can get a damn good gin and tonic.
Oh Zanzibar, you are calling me back!
